Our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional contains two insecticide concentrates: Exciter Insecticide offers for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, ants, fleas, ticks, spiders, waps and more while Talstar P Professional Insecticide offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas and targets over 75 insects including ticks, spiders, fleas, gnats, fire ants, carpenter ants, crickets and many more.
View the Talstar P product label and the ExciteR product label for a full list of the target insects and information.
The products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional will have a shelf life of 3-5 years if stored properly in a temperature stable environment (between 45 and 75 degrees) and out of direct sunlight.
The concentrate products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional are rofessional grade. Most Ryobi products state not to use professional grade products in them. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer first.
The Talstar P in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional uses the same active ingredient bifenthrin that is in the generic brand Bifen IT. Talstar P is the name brand, Bifen IT is the generic brand. These two products would not be tank mixed together as they are essentially the same product.
The Talstar P, ExciteR and Archer IGR can all be tank mixed together in one tank for a 3 in 1 spray application. Talstar P provides the 21-30 day residual, ExciteR is the contact kill/knockdown and Archer IGR is the insect growth regulator to help stop the growth cycle.
Please view the Mosquito Treatment Guide for more information.
It is recommended to mix the concentrates in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional (as directed) and apply within 24 hours of diluting with water.
We would recommend our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. It includes a great variety of products and active ingredients. This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an Insect Growth Regulator, as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. The key is to apply these products to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or where you are trying to provide relief. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out during the heat of the day.
Yes, the items inside of the Mosquito Control Kit will eliminate gnats as well. Be sure to follow the mixing ratios with respects to the labels.
The Altosid Larvacide is only labeled for use in sitting water to eliminate mosquitos and mosquito larvae.
Talstar P will kill mosquitoes including those that carry Zika and other viruses/diseases commonly carried by this pest. We do not recommend using the product near water. We do carry a product that can be applied close to water areas called Essentria IC3. We would recommend adding a larvacide such as Mosquito Beater to the areas with standing water.

What setting is appropriate for you when using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional will depend on the machine you are using and the density of the foliage that you need to treat. If you are using a Solo 451, then the lowest setting is usually strong enough for insecticide applications.
Products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional will not be washed away with rain, it is just recommended to apply when rain is not expected within 24 hours of application so that the area dries.
The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional contains Talstar P which is labeled for over 75 different pests. Tekko Pro and ExciteR also have a broad list of insects on the label. Altosid is the only one specifically for mosquitoes. The kit would also help with flies if they are in the area during treatment or contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose. The same also applies for bees though you can avoid harming them but applying late in the evening or early morning when they are less active in the area.
Our Mosquito Control Kits provide excellent control of mosquitoes. The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional has everything you need. This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an insect growth regulator (IGR), as well as a larvicide. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood.
Children should not be present duing application of items in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional until the treated surfaces are completely dried. It is safe after dry.
When using Mosquito Control Kit - Professional to treat for mosquitoes, the grass really isn’t an aera that needs to be treated. Mosquitoes don’t generally land in grasses, so there is no reason to treat that area. The areas of application should be concentrated on cooler, shaded areas that the mosquitoes land on during the hottest part of the day to seek shelter from the heat. This is the underside of tree canopies, the interiors of shrubs and bushes, under eaves and soffits, etc. If these areas receive a lot of rainfall, an reapplication at around 21 days may be necessary.
Since the key to eliminating mosquitoes is applying products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional to the underside of leaves on trees and bushes, it would not be recommended to mix with herbicide for this application. Both Trimec and SpeedZone Southern will damage or kill desirable ornamental plants. If just spraying grass you could do so, though, following each mixing rate on the individual product labels. It would also be recommended to do a compatibility test to ensure there would be no issues with tank mixing beforehand following the jar test instructions on the product label for either Trimec or Speedzone Southern. Please refer to our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips on eradicating this pest.
Some of the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional are restricted to NY and CT. For non-licensed residents of those states. please see our New York Mosquito Control Kit - Heavy Population.
We apologize, but since we do not carry the Stihl brand products, we are not familiar enough to provide settings for them. We can only provide the application rates for the products included in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. Both Talstar P and Tekko Pro are diluted at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water. You will use 0.5 oz. of ExciteR per gallon of water. Each finished gallon covers approximately 1000 sq. ft.
The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional would be a great option to use in a backpack blower. This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an insect growth regulator (IGR), as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. Using all of these products together is the best way to control mosquito populations. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Article for more tips and information.
We do not have a Mosquito Kit that is natural/organic but you can use an insecticide like EcoVia or Essentria IC3 around water which are both safe for aquatic life. Otherwise if using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional avoid allowing drift or spray to contact the koi pond by keeping applications at least 10 feet away or cover if small enough during application.
